>     An-nyung-ha-se-yo, friends,   My name is Tae-Sung Shin and I was born
>in Korea.   I was told I became a  cerebral palsy 4 month after my birth.
>I came to USA for studying  seven years ago, graduated  Iowa State Univ,
>and moved  here in Tulsa with employment  last year. Yeap, I am one of the
>aliens eating American's  employment....:-)   A few days ago, I was happy
>to find this email list  and now  send this greeting letter to all friends
>with the same  "toughness" as mine. Hopefully, I can  make many friends
>here and  talk about many things of CP.   First thing I would like to talk
>about is exercise.  what kind of  exercise are you guys  doing and what
>exercise did you get  effective results from? What I usually do is light
>weight lifting.  The reason I started the weight lifting is that I  found
>that my muscle  easily become tired   and that tiredness is slowly but
>surely making me weaker and weaker. The weight lifting seems  to surprise
>and revive my tired muscle in long term. But  one of drawback of this is
>muscle tension. When I tried the  weight  lifting first time, my muscle
>became so tense that it  hurt much.  So beginning this exercise was really
>pain to me, but  it was worth because later, it gave me additional
>strength as  well as no  or reduced muscle pain.  Have you heard any
>research on this  weight lifting treatment  for CP?    The other things
>I'd like to know is if there is a  club or meeting of CP in Tulsa, OK
>area. I would like to gladly participate  that kind of meeting to help
>each other. If you  know anything, please let me know.    I will be
>pleased to hear from any of  you.   Sincerely,    Tae-Sung Shin
